Nicolisms: About Swearing
So today's conversation went like this: I'm making baby food and I spill some on the counter. "Spadoinkle!" I say. (Cannibal: The Musical fans will recognize this word) Nicole says, "Mommy, I know that's a bad word, but what happened?"
"No, honey, spadoinkle isn't a bad word. I use it in place of bad words. Bad words mostly have four letters"
"And start with C"
What?!? Please tell me she means crap.

omg! this is very funny. but yes i too hope she means just crap.
ReplyDeleteme, too. My potty mouth is pretty bad, but I think crap is the only c word I use. Methinks the husband's potty mouth is to be blamed if any other colorful c words have made their way into her vocabulary. I shall have to have, uh, words with him.
